Delicate Papercuts

It's been a hectic few days full of HTML/CSS-induced headaches as well as Great News and Fun Projects that I can't wait to tell you guys about (SO excited)! But that's all going to have to wait just a tiny bit more so I hope you'll be patient with me :)

In the meantime, check out these delicate sculptures by Peter Callesen all made with a few cuts and a white sheet of paper. "The paper cut sculptures explore the probable and magical transformation of the flat sheet of paper into figures that expand into the space surrounding them," Callesen explains. "The negative and absent two-dimensional space left by the cut points out the contrast to the three-dimensional reality it creates, even though the figures still stick to their origin without the possibility of escaping. In a sense there is also an aspect of something tragic in many of the cuts." And something simple, precise and beautiful. (via A. and artbns.com)

Hi, I'm Dorkys, a NYC-based writer who's currently loving calligraphy, pow wows with fellow creatives, and designing stationery. Here, I cover relationships, the ins and outs of surviving in this hectic city, and artistic inspiration all the while kicking cancer's ass. I'm a bit of a sweet tart so expect some sarcasm delivered with a smile.
